I have a new poem in The New Yorker-- I'm thinking how Derrida said that to say what poetry "is" would be to renounce knowledge. The beautiful thing about poetry is its event of knowledge, never settling, always unfolding, IN the poem, between people: newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

Quick stop at one of my favorite local bookstores -- some books I love for the @RuthStoneHouse library
do not forgive me, I've planted a few trees, and only one fruit so far, I hope it will be delicious @RuthStoneHouse
"The more one knows, the more one still has to learn. Ignorance increases in the same proportion as knowledge-- or rather, not ignorance, but the knowledge of ignorance" (Schlegal, Philosophical 55, via Joseph Acquisto's Poetry's Knowing Ignorance)
"[Friedrich Schlegal] also indicates, in a general statement that is no doubt applicable to the poet that it is possible to cultivate a knowledge of one's ignorance" Joseph Acquisto
If it’s on call constantly answering you, giving you advice, satisfying you like a servant discussing your life, whatever it is doing, it is not doing psychotherapy, even if you like it, even if it has some benefits. Having a smart sycophant with an encyclopedia vs a therapist.
Does anybody else use ChatGPT as their personal therapist that’s on call 24/7/365? Or is that just me?
was paid for a poetry reading with garlic, honey and berries at a local grange historical group 🙏❤️
